Milwaukee M12 FUEL Orbital Detail Sander

Model number
2531-20

The Milwaukee 2531-20 is a compact cordless detail sander built for corners, edges, profiles, and other finish-sanding work that is awkward with larger pads. Milwaukee lists a 4,000 to 14,000 OPM range, a 1.5 mm orbit diameter, and a 1.3 lb bare-tool weight to balance material removal with controlled handling. Its barrel-grip form factor and detail pad make it a practical fit for cabinetry, touch-up work, and small surface prep. This tool-only version is aimed at users already on the M12 platform who want a premium compact sander without buying another battery or charger.
